Epson laid down its Commitment to Customers and Society in its 2012 Sustainability Report

With the growing concern
for the environment, more and more printers these days are making their own
move to commit themselves—and their company—to protect our natural resources. The
most recent among them is the Sustainability
Report released by Epson for this year. The report contains accounts of how
the company is addressing its responsibility to the environment.

One of them is the
introduction of the SmallInOne
inkjet series launched in 2011 as a response to the growing need for
environment-friendly printers. According to Epson, this printer is much smaller
than its competitors. Another is the increasing use of the company’s Micro
Piezo printhead technology. This technology allows materials to be created
in “high quality output, reliability and high cost performance”. Epson also
expanded its 3LCD projector lineup, launched a head-mounted display, and used its
impressive technology to provide wearable and low power products and services
to the healthcare and sports industry.

According to Minoru Usui, President
of Epson, “relentlessly pursuing innovation in compact, energy-saving,
high-precision technologies, Epson can create fresh customer value that matches
the world’s desire for smaller, more powerful products that have lower power
requirements and lower environmental impacts”.

That's what every business should be doing -- pursuing innovation without the need to compromise the future generations. It's so good to know that there are really big companies that are also getting big in their campaigns to forward sustainability efforts.
